This Thanksgiving, we pause in deep gratitude for you—your faith, solidarity, and commitment to turning hope into action. This fall, your dedication helped two major ISN initiatives—the One Church One Family campaign and the Ignatian Family Teach‑In for Justice (IFTJ)—ignite powerful engagement across our community.

In October and November, Catholic communities nationwide joined ISN and our partners in public prayer, lament, and witness. From vigils outside ICE facilities to rosaries in parish gardens, these gatherings proclaimed that migrants and refugees are not alone and that the Church is called to stand with them. Your presence—whether organizing, showing up, praying, or sharing the message—helped transform a call into a movement of accompaniment.

Soon after, the Ignatian family gathered in Washington, D.C., for the 28th IFTJ. Under the theme “Pressing On,” more than 1,800 participants learned, prayed, connected, and advocated—bringing Catholic Social Teaching to life amid the urgent realities of injustice.

• The students, young adults, educators, parish leaders, staff, and volunteers who made this work possible.
• The prayer, reflection, and advocacy that became concrete acts of solidarity.
• The generosity of donors and partners who enabled us to gather, organize, and mobilize.
• The hope that rises when we stand together as one human family.
